Peter Steer Carjacked: Aussie Journalist Gets a News Scoop

What a scoop! Australian photojournalist Peter Steer suddenly found himself part of a news story when he was carjacked by a man on a motorcycle who hailed him and then took his news vehicle at gunpoint.

"I got to a little town called Mundi and a chap on a Harley (Davidson) sort of pulled me over, I thought there might have been something wrong with my car," Steer told Yahoo News.

The suspect told Sheer he had injured a woman at a house and spoke to him on camera.

"He got off his bike and approached me and said 'I've got a story for you.' I said 'Well mate, you better hurry because I'm going to a shooting,' and he said, 'Mate, I'm the shooter. It's been terrible. I am remorseful,'" said Steer.

Mediaite reported that the suspect, though, shortly had a change heart, jumped into Steer's news unit and pulled out a gun before driving off. The man eventually crashed the vehicle at a service station in Eumundi.
